About This Pub
Ah, The Mere Park – it's one of those pubs that really knows how to make you feel welcome in Blackpool, isn't it? From the moment you step inside, the staff are just lovely, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which is spot on for a relaxed evening out. The food's a highlight too; their sizzling skillets and burgers are proper tasty, and they've got some great deals that make it wallet-friendly, especially if you're popping in with the family or for a quick bite near the Pleasure Beach. It's clean, comfy, and they've even got heaps of outdoor space for when the weather's playing ball. But, let's be honest, it's not perfect – I've heard a few tales of meals that didn't quite live up to the hype, like some underwhelming chicken dishes that left a bit to be desired in terms of flavour and quality. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a plate, and I'd say it's worth giving it a go if you're in the area, as the good bits far outweigh the occasional slip-up.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
-
The food is generally spot on – think delicious sizzling skillets, flame-grilled burgers, and some solid options for veggies and vegans, all at fair prices that won't break the bank.
-
It's a cosy and clean spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for catching up with mates, watching the game, or enjoying a family meal.
-
They've got brilliant outdoor seating for those sunny Blackpool days, and it's just a stone's throw from local attractions like the Pleasure Beach.
-
Plus, they're really involved in the community, supporting local charities and offering their function area for free – that warms the heart.
Cons
-
Some dishes can fall short on flavour and quality, like that chicken gyro one reviewer mentioned, which was a bit disappointing.
-
It might not always hit the mark for everyone, especially if you're after something a bit more adventurous or consistently top-notch in the kitchen.

We found this venue by chance while on holiday. When we went it was quiet and were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The lady serving was knowledgeable about the products. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. Reasonably priced
Went in for food with my niece and nephew , was about £35 for meals and drinks. Our server Colette was amazing making sure the kids had what they needed to enjoy their time and also was engaging with them which was lovely as most places don’t even acknowledge the kids. Will definitely be back again soon!
Staff were very nice, service was quick, food was well below par, had the chicken gyro and I’ve honestly fed better scraps of chicken to my dog, lacking in everything, flavour, quality, salad and sauce. Did I complain? No, because the staff in chains can only work with the product provided and they were more than nice but the food was rubbish. Nice place if you want a drink but definitely won’t be returning for food.
Friendly, quiet and clean was the pub on our visit just before the Christmas season started. Nice cup of some chunky chips and a cup of tea. I'll definitely visit again 👌🙏☺️
